Hi Miguel! Thank you for your replies! I have measurements of surface fluxes at my test site, so I could probably modify flxsurfz.f to fit my data, if I knew how... So from balanc.f it seems as though the sensible flux (dpFC) is calculated from CPD*(TA(i)-T(1,now), but there is a lot more going on in flxsurfz.f. I don't quite understand where Z0 and Z0T are defined. Are they vectors? I have to look into this further.
Another question, can I turn off the anthropogenic heat, WA? I am using a test site without any cars, so I would like it to be zero. Perhaps it would be good to define it in the station-configuration file. You could input the number of cars/hour and then the model could calculate the appropriate value for WA. If people don't know the number of cars/hour, the model can use the default number. Thanks again!
